I thought Netflix was supposed to work over 3G, but I couldn't get it to work today. I was able to browse videos, but when I got to the screen that says "You are almost ready to watch Rescue Me Season 5.1..." It sat for a few seconds, then went back to my queue.

I gave up eventually and tried to watch the finale of FlashForward on the ABC app and the streaming quality was 100% unwatchable, except for the commercials which looked great.

This was in Long Island City, right over the bridge from Manhattan, with 5-bars.

WTH?

I ride the train every day to and from work in Chicago and I can't say it was flawless each and every time (it is a moving train, so not every location is consistent) but for the most part ABC has been great. I caught up on Lost Wednesday mornings for 2 weeks and it was great each time.

Maybe I had a bad cell? Today was the first time I've tried streaming over 3G.
